Answer 2

• The most common form of connective tissue found in the human body is cartilage.
• It may be found in many forms in our joints, bones, spine, lungs, ears, and nose, and serves a number of structural and functional roles.
• Cartilage is a strong, smooth material made up of "chondrocytes," or specialised cartilage cells, which form a collagen, proteoglycan, and other non-collagenous protein matrix.
• These compounds aid in the attraction of water to cartilage and provide it with its form and characteristics.
